GEORGIA FARMERS’ UNION ARSON SQUAD MILITANT
READ IN LOBBY PROBE
CONLEY SAYS HE SAT
Finding of Portion of Salary
Envelope Bearing Victim’s
Name Expected to Strength
en Defense's Contention
I, A, Smith Says New Orleans
Meeting Was Fight Against
Free Sugar
The pay envelope, which was the
quest of Mary Phagan's visit to the Na
tional Pencil factory on April 26. when
she met her death, has been found.
At least enough of the envelope to
definitely identify it is in the hands of
the authorities.
The upper corner of the pay envelope,
bearing the name of the victim of the
sensational murder mystery, was found
on the first floor of the factory by Pink
erton detectives three weeks after the
commission of the crime.
While attorneys for the defense and
the prosecution have known of the find
for weeks, the fact only became public
Wednesday.
The corner of the pay envelope was
found on the first floor of the factory,
behind a radiator, about 15 feet from
the stairway and about S feet from the
place, where James Conley, the negro
sweeper, says he sat for more than an
hour on the day of the tragedy.
Apparently the portion of the enve
lope containing the girl’s pitiful wage,
was carried away. The upper portion
could naturally have been torn off and
thrown away by the girl or anyone else,
who wanted to reach the money.
But at the same time it is possible
that the murderer, not wishing to have
the incriminating evidence on his per
son, threw away the only part of the
envelope, which could be identified and
kept the blank paper.
It is said that the finding of the en
velope will prove an assistance to the
defense of Leo M. Frank, rather than
to the state, for the simple reason that
it was found so near the spot where
Conley was sitting.
In the several portions of the negro’s
various confessions of complicity, which
. have been made public he has never
made any mention of the envelope or of
the purse of the dead girl, which, it is
said, never has been found.
The discovery of the envelope in the
particular spot where it is said to have
been found, is practically certain to be
used by Frank’s attorneys, Reuben R.
Arnold and Luther Z. Rosser, in the de
fense of the trial of Frank. Their
, view of the matter is said to be that it
tends strongly to incriminate the ne
gro and exculpate Frank as the real
slayer of Mary Fhagan.
HABEAS CORPUS.
Indefinite postponement of the habeas
, corpus proceedings to secure the release
of Newt Lee, negro witness held in the
Fhagan murder case, was agreed by the
negro’s attorneys,, Graham and Chap
pell, and the solicitor general, Hugh M.
Dorsey, at the calling of the petition
for hearing before Judge W. D. Ellis
■ Wednesday morning.
It was stated then, upon authority,
that the defense representing Leo M.
Frank, superintendent of the National
. Pencil factory,* accused of the murder,
was not interested in the proceedings
In behalf of Newt Lee, either for or
against the negro, and that the lawyers
retained by Frank -would take no hand
in that matter one way or the other.
Postponement of the case to a defi
nite time had been expected . before the
habeas corpus matter was taken up,
and. upon previous instructions, the
sheriff did not have the negro in court.
This action seemed to dispose of the
probability that Jim Conley, the negro
sweeper at the factory, and Leo M.
Frank, whom he accuses, would be
brought face 'to face in the court in
this matter for the first time since Con
ley made his allegations against the
superintendent.

WASHINGTON. July 10.—I. A. Smith,
of Tennille, president of the Georgia
division of the Farmers’ union, ap
peared before the senate lobby investi
gating committee today and declared
that the committee meeting of the Na
tional Farmers’ union held in New Or
leans last spring really amounted to a
manufacturers’ gathering called to work
against free sugar.
He said he didn’t remember whether
or not any action in regard to sugar
was taken, but he asserted that letters
were written to southern senators. He
said he wrote to Senators Smith and
Bacon requesting them to look after
the farmers’ interests.
Mr. Smith said when he got back to
Georgia he found he had been mixed
up with a bad crowd.
“I reckon I’m a farmer,” Mr. Smith
told the committee when he began.
He was questioned about the meeting
of a committee of the National Farm
ers’ union at New Orleans last spring,
at which a scheme to increase the con
sumption of cotton was to be dis
cussed.
“Was any action taken in regard to
sugar at that meeting?” asked Senator
Overman.
“I don’t think so. There were some
letters ^written to senators. I wrote to
Senators Bacon and Smith.”
HIS EXPENSES PAID.
Smith testified that his expenses at the
New Orleans meeting were paid by I. D.
Bowen, president of the Texas branch
of the union, and that President Barrett
of the national organization, was not
present.
Smith said he heard many arguments
at the meeting about the bad effect free
sugar would have on the cotton indus
try.
“I thought I was in the wrong place,”
said Smith.
“It was more of a manufacturers’
meeting than a farmers’, ” suggested
Overman.
“Yes, sir, so much so that I made a
speech about it,” said Smith.
Smith explained later that he tele
graphed to Senator Bacon not to go into
the Democratic caucus until it was as
sured that a duty would be put on
meats and other farm products.
Smith said when he got back to Geor
gia he found he had been “mixed up
with a bad crowd.” He then learned,
he said, that the meeting was really
called to work against free sugar.
His letters to Bacon and Smith were
requests that the farmers interests be
looked after.
H. H. Mobley, of Prairie Grove, Ark.,
president of the state farmers’ union,
said he was at the New Orleans meet
ing. Bowen, who called the meeting,
he said, had been named chairman of
a committee on the greater consump
tion of cotton,” named by the national
union at its last annual meeting. He
did not go to New Orleans until the
meeting was over, he said, but he was
told it had been interesting.
THINGS WRONG AT NEW ORLEANS.
He got a general idea that some
quick work was to be done in tariff
matters to boost cotton prices.
He signed a telegram to the Arkan
sas senators at Bowen’s dictation ask
ing for a hearing for Arkansas cotton
interests.
“There is a suspicion in my mind
that things were not just what they
ought to have been, but I don’t know
much about it,” said Mobley.
“I’m slow to make accusations,” said
Mobley,, “but I have come to know that
at all our meetings, state and national,
we were surrounded by men whcN want
ed us to do something for their inter
ests.
“I feel like Mr. Smith, that there was
something wrong at New Orleans.”
“You saw no suggestion that indi
cated bad faith on the part of Bowen?”
asked Cummins.
“No, sir.”
Mobley said he thought Bowen paid
the expense of the meeting and that
he would be reimbursed by the national
farmers’ union.
HAWAII SUGAR INVOLVED.
A. D. Baldwin, an attorney of Cleve
land, interested in Haiwaiian sugar
stock, also was called. He said he had
nothing to do wtih the literature sent
out by the Hawaiian sugar men. In
Washington, he said, he represented
Alexander & Baldwin, of New York, at
$30 a day, while here.
“Can’t you tell all you did do here?”
asked Chairman Overman.
“I called oh senators and representa
tives. I shouldn’t suppose I called on
more than twenty senators. I sent
written arguments to senators, * but
made no arguments before • the sub
committee in charge of sugar.
“We had a comrapn cause with the
cane and beet men and consulted with
them frequently about the general cam
paign.”
"What do you mean by the cam
paign?” asked Senator Overman.
“There was an effort to convince sen
ators and representatives and a publici
ty campaign.”
“Do you feel you have been earning
your $30 a day here?” asked Senator
Walsh.
. “I very much doubt it.”
William Whitman, of Boston, former
pfesident of the National Association of
Wool. Manufacturers, was the first wool
man to take the stand. The output of
the Arlington mills, of which he is
president, he put at between 540,000 and,
600,000 pounds of cotton yarn a week
and its capacity at 400,000 pounds of
wool a week. He said the wool mills,
had not been running at capacity on
account of poor market.

LONDON, July 10.—An “arson squad”
of militant suffragettes burned down the
country residence of Sir William H.
Lever, founder of Port Sunlight and
chairman of the Liverpool School of
Tropical Medicine, early today. The
mansion, known as “The Bungalow,”
was ‘situated at Rivington, near Nor
wich, Lancashire. It was not occupied
by the family, but contained valuable
paintings and other precious objects, all
of which were consumed.
A message was left by the Incendiaries
stating that if Sir William Lever had
been as loyal to the suffragettes as
Lancashire was to the king, who is now
paying a visit to the industrial centers
of the country, the fire would not have
happened.
Damage to Sir William * H. Lever’s
residence amounted to over $100,000.
MISS PANKHURST ARRESTED.
Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, daughter of
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the suf
fragette leader, was brought up at Bow
street police court today and found
guilty of inciting people to commit dis
orders on June 29, when she led a mob
to Downing street to raid the official
residences of the premier and the chan
cellor of the exchequer.
She was ordered by the magistrate to
find sureties in $12,000 for good be
havior for a year, or as an alternative
go to prison for three months. Miss
Pankhurst refused to find bonds and
elected to go to Holloway jail, declaring
that she would at once start a hunger
strike and also go without water. Arch
ibald Bodkin, prosecuting for the treas
ury, said the authorities did not desire
to punish her, but merely to prevent
her making inflammatory speeches.
ZELIE EMERSON “INCITES” RIOT.
Miss Zelie Emerson, of Jackson, Mich.,
Miss Mary Richardson and Harry Gold
en, a male sympathizer with the^ woman
suffrage movement, who were arrested
last evening, while trying to liberate
Miss Sylvia Pankhurst from the hands
of the police at Bromley, were all sent
to jail by the police magistrate. Miss
Elmerson, who the police testified, had
incited a mob of 500 obstructionists by
shouting, “What are you going to do?”
was given a month’s hard labor, and
Harry Golden received a similar sen
tence, but Miss Richardson, who had as
saulted the police and broken a window
at the police station, was sentenced for
three months. The prisoner’s only com
ment was, ‘We shall do just as much as
we choose.”
Later Miss Emerson and Golden were
returned to court and fined $10 each and,
contrary to the suffragettes’ custom, the
fines were paid.
Miss Pankhurst, who defended herself,
called out in court:
“Revolt is the only way left to us.
There will be rebellion and the east
will march toward the west with sticks
and stones. If you drag me back to
prison under the infamous ‘cat and
mouse act.’ I shall continue to protest
as long as life lasts. Very probably
some of us will die, but all say it is
worth it.”
WOULD QUELCH FEDERALS
BY GUNS AND STARVATION
Gen, Cabral; Leader of Insur
gent Forces, Expects Guay-
mas to Fall Soon
(By As cciat»d Press.)
NOGALES, Ariz., July 10.—Starvation
and artillery are forces upon w hich
the constitutionalists are depending to
obtain the ultimate surrender of tile
federals at Guaymas, according to Gen
eral Juan C. Cabral, of the insurgent
forces, who reached Nogales late last
night from the beleaguered gulf port.
Cabral said he expected Guaymas to
capitulate at any hour, as the consti
tutionalists were doing deadly work
with their artillery and were aided in
their attack by hunger of the federals,
whose supplies of provisions and ammu
nition were practically exhausted.
Cabral declared the report that fed
eral gunboats at Guaymas had joined
the constitutionalists was baseless.

Wasteful Financial Manage

FIFTY-MILE HARRIER TO
STOP WEEVIL PROPOSED
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 10.—Financial
operations of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, its ownership of
trolley lines and control of allied New
England railways, are condemned In un
measured terms by the interstate com
merce commission in the report of its
investigation made public here today.
The commission’s conclusions are:
That the “outside” financial manage
ment has been “wasteful in the ex
treme,” and that had the New Haven
confined itself to actual railroad activi
ties under the same conditions that pre
vailed In other respects “it could have
paid a dividend of 8 per cent for the
fiscal year 1912 and carried to surplus
account $1,794,000, instead of showing a
deficit of $930,000.”
That the New Haven’s agreement with
the Boston and Albany is “violative of
the spirit of the statute against the
restraint of competition and should be
cancelled.” “In our opinion,” says the
commission, “this line should be kept
entirely fTee from New Haven con
trol.”
That the New Haven should divest
itself of its trolley lines, not because
the present ownership is in violation of
law, but because such ownership might
be used to prevent the building of com
peting lines in the future.
That the Boston and Maine’s merger
with the New Haven, if permitted to
stand, will result in “an almost exclu
sive monopoly of transportation facili
ties by railroads in the greater part of
New England.”
That passenger train service, without
considering safety of operation, on the
New Haven, is distinctly better than
any other line entering New York, and
that of the Boston and Maine equally
as good. Both roads, however, are crit
icised adversely for lack of steel cars.
That the freight service of the Bos
ton and Maine "is much less reliable
than that of either the Pennsylvania
or the Baltimore and Ohio, while that
of the New Haven is slightly inferior
to the Pennsylvania, but about on a
par with the Baltimore and Ohio.”
That passenger fares in New England
have been more favorable to the local
traveling public than in any other por
tion of the United States.
That “any betterment of railroad
conditions must begin with the assur
ance that the New Haven management
will act not only prudently, but within
the letter and the spirit of the law.”
NO ORDER MADE.
No order was made by the commis
sion, but in its opinion, the following
propositions, which have national ap
plication to all railroads, lie at the
foundation of adequate railroad regula
tion:
“Every interstate railroad should be
prohibited from expending money or in
curring liabilities or acquiring property
not in the operation of its railroad or
in the legitimate improvement, exten
sion or development of that railroad.
“No interstate railroad should be per
mitted to lease or purchase any other
railroad, nor to acquire the stocks or
securities of any other railroads, nor
to guarantee the same, directly or in
directly, without the approval of the
federal government.
“No stocks or bonds should be issued
by an interstate railroad except for the
purposes sanctioned in the two pre
ceding paragraphs, and none should be
issued without the approval of the fed
eral government.”
Commissioners Clements and Marble
submitted a concurring opinion, in
which they “agree heartily with the
report,” but make their position clear
as to some of the issues mentioned.
Concerning the merger of the New
Haven and the Boston and Maine, they
assert that “this is a phase of the sub
ject that should be left to the congress,
just as the issues under the anti-trust
law have been left to the courts. If
it were properly to be considered here,
however, we would give weight to the
suggestion that the merger has so over
loaded the executive heads of the en
tire aggregation as to impair not only
correct and economize financial admin
istration, but also efficiency and safety
of operation. The Boston and Maine
and the New Haven are shown by the
report to be separable organically. They
are not one system, but two systems
under one management. Therefore
closer superintendence, with correspond
ing gains in efficiency and safety, might
be expected from a dissolution of the
merger.
“No competition between carriers is
unimportant. Moreover, any suppres
sion of competition involves larger is
sues, which must be discussed by those
who are charged with the duty of legis
lation.
“The proposed continuation of the in
quiry into the matter of increases in
rates ought to be held in advance of
the posting of such rates for the in
formation of the shippers who must
pay them. The report strongly sug
gests that increased net income for the
Boston and Maine should be secured
by a reform in expenditures rather than
by an increase of rates.”
ORIGIN OF ENQUIRY.
The inquiry resulting in today’s report
was begun about a year ago by the
commission upon its own initiative, in
consequence of numerous and persistent
complaints of the railroad rates, regu
lations and service in New England. The
carriers particularly investigated were
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford, the Boston and Maine, and the
Maine Central. Months were devoted to
examination of books and accounts and
thirty-seven days were devote to public
hearings, in the course of which more
than 6,000 pages of testimony were
taken.
Senator Plans to Fix Strip in
Alabama Where No Cotton
Is Grown
CAUGHT HIDING IN ROOM
Plucky Tifton Woman Stops
Flight of Negro Found
Under Bed
WASHINGTON, July 10.—Plans for the
federal government to raise a barrier
against the boll weevil of the southeast
ern cotton states invading the Atlantic
coast states are being drafted by Sen
ator Smith, of South Carolina. Secre
tary Houston, of the department of ag
riculture, is said to have given the prop
osition his tentative approval.
Senator Smith’s plan is for the federal
government, with state co-operation, to
prohibit the growing of cotton in a belt
which would separate the Atlantic coast
states from the southwestern states. As
the boll weevil migrates only from cot
ton field to cotton field, the senator be
lieves this belt would save the states
to the east of it from the pest, which
has cost cotton raisers to the southwest
millions of dollars' annually.
According to investigation already
made, the narrowest belt where a bar
rier might be raised would be in Ala
bama between the mountains near the
Tennesee line and the gulf. This would
be a distance of about 150 miles. The
boll weevily already has swept over
Texas, Qklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas,
and is said to be traveling eastward into
Alabama. Senator Smith is preparing
to urge upon the senate that this nar
row belt will be a practical barrier if
immediate action is taken to establish
it. If effective, it would protect most of
Alabama and all of Georgia, Florida,
South Carolina and North Carolina from
the weevil.
The barrier to be effective must be
fifty miles wide, it is believed. The
growing of cotton in that zone would be
prohibited, but the farmers could raise
any other crops.
Senator Smith’s plan is to have the
federal government compensate the
farmers in this zone for not planting
cotton. He is investigating the action
of the federal government in stamping
out yellow fever in Louisiana and in es
tablishing forest reserves for the con
servation of resources in order to have
precedents for his plan.
Senator Smith today consulted Sena
tor Kern, of Indiana, the Democratic
leader, and won his approval to a feasi
ble plan to accomplish the desired ob
ject.
TIFTON Ga., July 10.—Mrs. I. B. Hall
last night about 10 o'clock discovered,
a negro man hiding under her bed.
When he was discovered the negro at
tempted to escape through the hallway,
but Mrs. R. E. Hall pluckily headed him
off with a revolver, which she fired sev
eral times. The negro then ran through
the dining room and bath room and then
hid in the fireplace of the room occu
pied by the Hall boys.
Mr. Garbutt. Will Smith and Lyman
McDuffie responded to the call for help
and with the Hall boys pulled the ne
gro out and he was turned over to the
officers.
Mrs. I. B. Hall was staying at the
home of Mr. R. E. Hall.
The negro gave his name as Herflry
Harris, but also goes under aliases of
Henry Williams and Young Harris.

WASHINGTON, July 10.—No leniency
under any circumstances will be shown

offender brought before him.
“I don’t want any explanations in
these drunk cases,” said the judge em
phatically. “Explanations are of no
avail. Those who get drunk and are
seen in the public streets must pay the
penalty.”
Since the new excise law went into

EXCELSIOR WONDER KNIFE
Worth Its Weight in Gold to Every <
Farmer, Stockman and Sportsman
Every Knife Guaranteed
This is the handiest and best knife
ever manufactured.
The illustration shows exact size of
the knife. Besides the large blade,
which is two and three-fourths inches
long, this knife has a smaller punch or reamer^
blade two and one-eighth inches long, and cuts
round hole, any size, in leather, with ease.
Both blades are of finest tempered tool steel,
finely ground and polished. You have paid $1.00
or $1.50 for a knife not as good as this one.
The EXCELSIOR WONDER KNIFE is btxilt for
practical use, not filled with Nic-Nacs, as is the
case with most combination knives. Especial care,
is taken to make the knife sufficiently strong for
use of Farmers, Stockmen, Teamsters and Sports
men. It is no more clumsy or awkward to carry
in the pocket than an ordinary three-bladed knife.
The Leather Punch will be found indispensable
for making various sized holes in leather for
buckles, rivets, belt lacing, etc.
The Leather Punch acts as a swedging awl or
marlin spike when turned to the left; especially
adapted for use in lacing belts, untying knots, etc.
This knife is a marvel of mechanical ingenuity,
embodying every essential element, viz: Simplici
ty, Convenience, Durability, Smoothness and
Strength.
By special arrangements with tho manufac
turers we are getting this Knife at a price where
by we can give you one with one yearly sub
scription to THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY
JOURNAL, This is the best bargain of the year.
